Abstract:Due to the superior thermal conductivity and high uranium density, U3Si2 is an excellent candidate for conventional UO2 nuclear fuel and shows great potential application in accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) assembly of light water reactors (LWRs). Currently, the behavior of Xe bubbles with internal or applied stress is rarely investigated, restricting further understanding of swelling in U3Si2. The mesoscopic phase-field method has been developed in this work to study the spatial and temporal Xe bubble evolution i… Show more
